Good seeing today from athens after a long time. Used Coronado maxscope Sm70mm CaK and Coronado PST D.S Sm40mm Ha. We have active region at the south pole after a long time. Region 11214 in action with a sunspot group without penubra. At the west side region 11210 is ready to leave the visible solar side. Near to the limb came the region 11208. There are big filaments over two regions. No big prominences today at the solar limb. www.solar-007.eu/site/

A filament eruption in the northern hemisphere close to the central meridian was detected by SDO/AIA around 3:00 UT today. It was accompanied by coronal dimmings and a post-eruption arcade, indicating the eruption of a CME. However, STEREO/SECCHI COR2 data showed that the CME was directed to the north of the ecliptic plane. Its arrival at the Earth is therefore unlikely

Hot and dry trend Since January. Looks to continue at least through the first half of May.

May 2011 trending toward a dip, thus making March and April a "spike in solar activity. Currently I'm Predicting May 2011 values will be much lower than the last two months. Avg solar flux: 95 Avg SSN: 37
A notable drop form the spike over the last few months. The conditions into and though the summer will reveal if we will enter another spike right away or limbo for a few months. I feel the rise to the solar max is very important, SC 24 is one of the most "unexpected" cycles in history. It will teach us a great deal about how the sun works as our "old" knowledge lead us to think this weak cycle was going to be hyperactive. May 10th was the first time the flux fell below 100 since march 2nd. It ended a 69 day long stretch of 100 or higher solar flux.

At 82 the Solar Flux is the lowest it has been since Feb 7th. I agree, solarstormlover54, this is an oddball cycle, but maybe the experts can learn a little more about just how the Sun operates because it isn't what has been considered normal.

On the other hand small cycles tend to have this 'spiky' behavior, e.g. cycle 14:
